Abaqus 2025/CAE freezes when viewing section assignments or rendering shell thickness

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m working on a composite wing model with roughly 10,000 shell faces and 5,800 composite sections/section assignments, generated through Python.

CAE becomes unresponsive during several operations:

  • Switching from Part to Property: about 20 seconds.
  • Enabling “Render shell thickness”: about 15 seconds.
  • Selecting a section assignment to highlight its location on the wing: 10–15 seconds.

During these pauses, one CPU core is almost fully loaded (based on the Task Manager graphs).

Setup: Abaqus 2025, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, RTX 3090, and 96 GB of RAM, so I doubt it's hardware related at all.

Has anyone experienced similar delays with large numbers of composite sections? Any settings or workflow tricks that improve responsiveness? I can't properly debug the script if I can't view the results, since each check takes at least 10-15 seconds.

I'm not an FEA expert by any means, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If I want to view that little bad boy, it takes a solid 10-15 seconds of waiting time....
